First, five stars for the packaging. The trays are designed so that you can press on the closed end of the pencil and the sharpened end pops right up. The upper tray has finger grips, then the bottom tray has string handles to lift it right out.The four stars are for the fact that as soon as I was coloring the included color chart card, I noticed that they must have a metallic color added to a regular color, because I can see a separation between the two. The color sent actually metallic. For instance, the first color, sand yellow, I can see yellow streaks and gold streaks. I tried to color heavily to burnish the paper but nothing changed.This is my first set of metallic colored pencils, so, maybe that’s how they all are? Maybe someone could tell me.

Dieses Set wurde von mir aus Versehen bestellt, denn ich wollte zwei andere Sets mit Metallicfarben kaufen. Ich bin aber so begeistert von der Farbauswahl, dass ich auch dieses Set behalten habe. Stifte lassen sich gut vermalen, der Metallic-Schimmer kommt gut zur Geltung

Super crayons avec un effet métallisé sympa qui permet d'apporter des touches lumineuses sur les dessins. Top

È la prima volta che provo questa marca di matite colorate, non sono un'artista professionista quindi le utilizzo semplicemente per hobby. Mi serviva un set metallizzato in quanto ho già un set da 120 e un set da 50 toni pastello di un altro brand. Il fatto che siano custodite in una scatola metallica mi ha invogliato ad acquistarle perché conservate in modo più sicuro. Bella gamma di colori, saturi e abbastanza morbidi, alcuni di più, altri di meno. La loro intensità è indicata anche dal numero di più presenti su ogni matita (la legenda si trova nel coperchio della scatola). All'interno del set è fornito anche un cartoncino per swatchare i colori in una color chart facile da compilare. Penso prenderò anche qualche altro set.

I got these for my 5-year-old cuz she's super into coloring right now and she loves them and I thought they were really nice they. I love the case they come in and how the second tray of pencils have little handles to make it easier to pull the tray out. Also the DIY color sheet is great because my daughter would color on the side of the picture to try and see what the pencil looks like before she used it and now she has to do is look at the color chart that she colored herself even. They are good quality and pretty durable. My five year old can definitely be very rough with crayons, pencils, pens, markers, chalk and these haven't failed her.

I’m in love with this set — it’s affordable (compared to brands like Prismacolor, Polychromos, Caran D’Ache and even Arteza). The colors are not exactly metallic but they’re shimmery/glossy and very pretty. I haven’t swatched the whole set yet but the colors I tried laid down beautifully and were highly pigmented. In terms of feel and quality, it’s comparable to Arteza — a halfway point between Prisma, which are wax-based, and Polychromos, which are oil-based. But they feel more like the latter than the former. I’ve been hearing about Kalour for a while and honestly I’m impressed with the quality vis-a-vis the price. I don’t think these are lightfast though, so this is something to put in mind. It’s a trade off. You get good colors at a relatively cheap price but the downside is that they may not stand the test of time. If you’re looking for exhibit-quality, museum-art-style pencils and pigment that will remain vibrant through the decades, then definitely go for a higher end brand, not this. But for the purpose of the work that I do, illustrations and fan art, these will more than do. Like I mentioned; they lay down nicely and blend seamlessly and smoothly. The tin box they come in is sturdy and nice-looking: and they come with a swatch card. Would recommend.

The many color choices are nice, but some tips were broken and the tin dented due to lousy shipping. The hinge on the tin case doesn’t work due to damage during shipping.

I was disappointed at first because of the difficulty to get a soft swatch but then I sharpened all of them and changed my mind. I filled out the color sample card and found I also needed to change how I use them: don't press too hard to get the full color, it's much better to use a steady hand and build the color up. I didn't find them vibrant, instead they are in beautiful muted shades that have a subtle sheen. Some of the colors are so similar you might think there are duplicates but they are all different. The outside pencil color matches the inside hue pretty much spot on.I bought them to use on shrink plastic and was delighted at the result. I made a plastic sample card to see how dark they would be when reduced and they are beautiful. All 50 colors look great and all had a slight metallic shimmer.

I wasn't sure what to expect for these pencils, as I was not familiar with this brand & the price was so reasonable. Received this set and Kalour's 50 piece Pastel Colored Pencil set yesterday. I have to say I'm impressed with these. They are not as "creamy" as Prismacolors which I have, but I didn't expect them to be at this price point. The pencils aren't overly metallic, I'd describe them as a satin finish as compared to a high sheen which is fine for my purposes (saw another reviewer noted that burnishing them would provide a more shiny finish, I've not tried that yet).Pros:- 50 pencils for $22.99 is a bargain.- Great range of colors, heavy on the purples, blues, & greens which is perfect as they are the colors I tend to use most in any coloring medium (colored pencils, fineliner pens...).- Can get a nice range of intensity just varying how much pressure you use, and it doesn't take a ton of layers to get a darker result. I also find that as they are not as soft/creamy as the Prismacolor (didn't expect them to be), I am not using as heavy a hand when coloring with them as I do with Prismacolors, so this is a plus for me (less hand fatigue).- Get alot of mileage out of the pencil before you need to sharpen it again.- Comes with a DIY Color Chart to fill in - I always make one for what I buy but Kalour including one (on a heavier paper even!), that also is large enough to be useful but small enough to tuck into the case is very nice!- Lightfastness rating, color number, & color name are provided on the pencils, the DIY Color Chart, & the inside of the box lid!- The exterior of the pencil is colored and is very representative of the actual color of the pencil!- Colors arranged together, and then ranging from light to dark within the color groups (this is NOT the case with their pastel colored pencil set)- Nice quality box for storing the pencils.Cons:- Not available open stock as far as I can tell, will be checking Kalour's website to see if they are there. Even so, the set is very reasonably priced and I foresee using these enough that buying the sets won't be that inconvenient as I'll be using these pencils quite often.I also ordered Kalour's 50 piece Pastel Colored Pencil set at the same time as this and will be leaving a review on that product as well.Summary - great set of pencils, very nice range of colors, really good quality, and very reasonably priced. I will be buying more of these in the future.Happy Coloring!

I bought these as I am just doodling around with coloring books so I wanted to buy a bigger set than my 12 piece Faber Castell metallic pencils. Here is my honest review:Pros:The pencils come in this tin with 2 shelves. They are in numerical order right to left - this was odd for me as I am used to left to right. There is a card with spaces/boxes with the numbers corresponding to the pencils that you can use to see what color each pencil is on paper. That is a nice touch.The colors really show the metallic of each pencil on any paper I have used so far - from cheap copy paper to cardstock. I have not tried them on black or colored paper, so I cannot say how they do on that paper.They blend decently, and I also use a blending pencil to smooth the color into the tooth of the paper.Overall, I enjoy these pencils.Cons:I have not found any cons yet.I have no relations to any Amazon employee or seller. I do not own any stock in either Amazon or the seller. This review is my honest opinion of the product I purchased with my own money.
